Registration Policies and Information
General Information
Registration & Deposit: A deposit per person of 50% is due/required at sign-up and must accompany each registration. The remaining 50% balance of the class fees are due when the class begins, with the required material fees identified for each class. Registrations are non-transferable.
Classes without a minimum number of registrations may be cancelled.
A fee will be charged for returned checks.
Student Withdrawal/ Cancellations: Because of registration costs and other services, including instructor contracts and material acquisitions the Artisans Guild will allow a cancellation if it is done two weeks prior to the class. The deposit is non-refundable, but the student can transfer the deposit to another class in the future. If the cancellation is less than 2 weeks before the class, 100% of the deposit will be non-refundable and forfeited.
Materials Fees & Supplies: Students in classes typically use materials in the making of their projects, and in non-craft classes there are often additional fees for copies and such. Materials fees can range from $0 to over $300. Because the amount of materials used will vary by student, materials fees are not included in the tuition amount. All classes provide estimated materials fees in its class description. Upon registering for a class, you will receive a confirmation of materials fees on your Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild invoice, along with a list of additional supplies the instructor may require you to bring from home. Payment for materials purchased from the instructor or the school is required on the last day of class. While the Artisans Guild accepts debit and credit cards, many instructors do not, so please be prepared to pay for materials fees to instructors with cash or a check.
Course Cancellations: The Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild will conduct courses for which a minimum number of students are registered. If the Artisans Guild must cancel a course, registered students will be given the opportunity to enroll in another course, with no transfer penalty. A full refund will be given to students who do not wish to transfer.
Age Requirements: Students must be at least 18 years of age (21 for some cooking classes that utilize alcohol, as noted in descriptions). No one under 18 may take a class without parental approval.
